I’m excited to report that Analog has published my novelette “Ellipses…” in their May issue. Yes, I know it’s only February. Such is the strangeness of their publishing cycle. It’s a fun story for me to see make print. Hope you chase down a copy. If you do, feel free to let me know what […]
Read More ...A Recommendation, and A Two-A-Day
Here’s a story to make you think. # Lisa joined a health challenge at work, and had a 4:00 meeting at the health club. This meant that I went with her and did a second workout. I’m … ah … feeling it. In a good way. Yeah. Right. A good way. Uh-huh. I’m sure it […]

I just finished reading Ken Liu’s Simulacrum at Lightspeed. Definitely an interesting piece of work. I really enjoyed the exploration of technology in it, and it’s ramifications. But I admit I also was struck by the father/daughter thing, despite the … uh … problem … the father has. Definitely worth a read. Share Me
Read More ...The Hacker’s Diet
Lisa and I have been actively working on our health the past year (or a little more). We’ve improved our basic diet, and we’re getting considerably more exercise than we were. Of course, this last bit goes without saying because prior to this decision our exercise consisted of getting up and going to the refrigerator […]
